tools
Internal helper for /think Step 11. Renders SOW.md + Spec.md as an integrated Astro view and returns a dev server URL.
development
Extract repository spec while detecting bugs, spec gaps, and consistency drift via dual-purpose documentation. OUTCOME.md-axis question-driven exploration with ephemeral output. Do NOT use for code review (use /audit or /polish), feature implementation (use /code), planning only (use /think), or single-bug fix (use /fix).
development
Discover undocumented design decisions and challenge each candidate via critic-design before promotion. Rank by impact and reversibility, produce ADR promotion candidates. Treat each candidate as a position arguing for ADR status, not a fact to be filed. Pairs with audit-adr-drift, which scans existing ADRs for drift against code.
development
Scan ADR Decision sections against current code and report drift with modification direction and priority. Do NOT use for repos without ADRs (use audit-adr-gaps instead).
